Chapter 42: Transactions of No Interest

Winter is indeed desperate, Chen Ye is helpless, there is no cotton in this world, and even similar things that can replace cotton, he has not found it at present.

Of course, it's not that there is no way to keep warm, such as down, those swan down is good, and it is absolutely warm to make a down jacket, but before that, he must be sure to resist the wrath of a double dragon sacrifice.

A down jacket requires a huge amount of fluff that can only be met by large-scale captivity, but the Sval are not those small races, they are one of the main races of all birds, and even the great king of the royal city will not go to war with the Svaud for the sake of a son who is least loved.

Of course, Chen Ye never expected that great father would shelter him from the wind and rain, at least that His Majesty the King never cared about the situation in his bitter cold land.

He glanced at Slierang, and gradually fell silent, there was only one deal left, and he had to procure enough supplies for the winter before then.

Momiji Collar lacked a lot of things, so as to avoid mistakes and omissions, he thought about it and spread out a brand new animal skin, and slowly sorted out his thoughts while burning the pen red.

In the cold winter, although there will be no war, but the necessary patrols cannot be avoided, and the training cannot be left behind, so a lot of leather clothing is needed, and these leather clothes made of animal skins are the warmest clothes in the world he knows.

He picked up the branding pen and branded the word leather coat, and then thought about adding the word three thousand, and the size of the beast is very different, so there must be many models, and at the same time training is inevitably changing, two pieces per person. The rest can be kept in stock.

To ensure heating, you have to ensure enough food, although the original food is not enough for more than a thousand people to survive the winter, but with the addition of slaves and goblins, this is obviously still far from enough, a winter, he at least prepared food for 20,000 people, because no one knows how long this winter will be, food must be guaranteed far beyond expectations, three million catties.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, clothing and food always need to be considered first, he thought in his heart, to solve the problem of clothing and food, but the rest is not urgent.

Seeds, farm tools, once the snow melts, the red leaf collar must also immediately start spring ploughing, these also need to be prepared in advance, the population of the red leaf collar will only increase, and it is not a long-term solution to buy food from these merchants.

He wrote down whatever he wanted, livestock, shelf-stable vegetables, and even fruit that could be stored, until a hide was filled and he gave the maid to Slielang.

There are a lot of things on this, and he estimated that all the things should be worth tens of thousands of gold dragons, which is completely worth the military expenses of a 100,000-strong army for a year, plus those slaves, it is worth 20,000 gold dragons.

Slielang helped him sell those royal goods, a total of 100,000 gold dragons, minus the 30,000 that had been paid, there were still 70,000 left, and now there was a need to subtract 20,000, that is, these materials did not need him to use the 100,000 gold dragons that His Majesty had given him in order to get him away as soon as possible.

This is probably the best news so far, isn't it?

The family has surplus food, and there is no panic in my heart, but money is the right way, and it will always be a dead thing when it is put there, and he thought about it and said: "By the way, next time you trade, send as many slaves as possible, it is best to have more than three times this time, I don't think this is a problem for you." ”

He smiled slightly, and glanced at Slielang, who was looking at the order seriously, once this guy started a business, he was like two people in peacetime, he was indeed a loyal businessman, cunning, rigorous, bold and careful, he was a talent, but it was not the talent that Chen Ye needed at present, and this guy Chen Ye was not at ease to use it.

"Your Highness, I think the same way, and this is indeed not a problem. Slielang's eyes rolled slightly: "But Your Highness, there are too many of them, I can't capture slaves in just one country, this will undoubtedly cause the alarm of that country, so the price of this slave may be a little more expensive." ”

"Of course. Chen Ye nodded, doing his best to seek greater benefits, this is just the nature of businessmen, and if these guys are properly tasted sweet, these guys will work harder, so he doesn't mind spending more.

"However, the slaves I need this time are as biased as possible towards other professions, such as cooks, blacksmiths, healers, tailors, and of course, alchemists. Chen Ye added.

"There is no problem at all, Slielang will comply with His Royal Highness's conditions. ”

Slielang licked his lips, he felt that business had never been so easy, this prince was simply the most generous guest he had ever seen, as long as the conditions were reasonable, it seemed that he would not have to worry about being rejected by this prince.

Thinking of this, he felt more and more how lucky he was to meet this prince in the first place, and the female magician, who attracted this prince for him.

He took great care to put away the order given to him by His Highness and put it in the most intimate place, and he decided to give up all other business in the recent period of time, and only serve the order of this prince.

Well, for the sake of the Golden Dragon.

"By the way, Your Highness, there is a batch of weapons in the Star Luo Kingdom that will be eliminated recently, I think you may be interested?" Thinking that this prince needed to develop his territory, he couldn't help but remind 'kindly'.

The weapons of the human kingdom are superior to those of the orc kingdom, and in the orc kingdom, human weapons have always been a bestseller, and Slielang believes that such a temptation will definitely be taken seriously by this prince.

He felt that he would give such a good deed to this prince, and he would definitely be moved by this prince to have such a good intention.

"Weapons?" Chen Ye smiled slightly and shook his head: "Maybe my eldest brother will be interested, what, do you need me to contact you?" I would also be happy to help you." ”

The weapons of this continent, he has understood, except for magic, fighting spirit, sacrifice, etc., which cannot be explained by science, everything is still in the late bronze period, the early iron period, and the so-called black iron is actually a kind of steel, some similar to the existence of iron, and the production methods have been lost.

With far more knowledge than this world, he naturally can't be interested in these hard and brittle, easy-to-cut and hard-to-chop bronzes, if it is changed to black iron, maybe he will be willing to make another deal, but in the exchange of bronze, he can only smile and say nothing.

And the design of weapons in this world is indeed a little flattering, hundreds of thousands of years of development, the main weapon of the army is still only at the level of the sword, soldiers use big swords, knights use long swords, training relies on sword fighting, except for the sword There are few other weapons used on the battlefield, even if there are, most of them are things in the goblin ruins.

According to the development of history, the sword will eventually be eliminated, and eventually become a saber, just a status symbol, although it still retains the status of the king, but in the battlefield only conducive to the rapid chopping of the knife is the real overlord.

In his memory, there are many memories of knives, such as the Huanshou Iron Knife, the Tang Knife, the Scimitar Knife, the Sabre, the Qijia Knife, the Shun Knife, the Nest Knife, the Za Knife, the Pu Knife, the Chopping Knife and so on.

It can be said that in the era of cold weapons, only the knife is the true king.

Hmm, okay, that's not the point, the point is that Chen Ye doesn't look down on the weapons of the Human Kingdom at all, in his opinion, he will dislike those weapons when they are reforged.

Slielang's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard, he looked at the prince in a daze, and for a moment he didn't know where to speak.

"Your Highness, why did you refuse?" A hurried voice sounded, and Storf hurried in, this kind of urgency was difficult to see in the stereotypical Mr. Butler, at least Chen Ye was sure that he was seeing it for the first time.

The weapon was too important, and Storf didn't care about etiquette, he looked directly at Slielang: "Mr. Slielang, please wait a moment, I will persuade His Royal Highness the Prince, I think His Highness will change his mind." ”

Slielang nodded his head.

"Well, let's be here today, Mr. Slielang, and my butler will talk to you in a moment to settle the money. Chen Ye glanced at Stoff, shook his head, and said to Slielang.

He knew that if he didn't explain it to Mr. Steward today, although it would not affect Mr. Steward's loyalty, it would inevitably be upset, but there were some things that were not suitable for the presence of an outsider, Slielang.
